Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Insurance Sector: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. John Quinlan:

It is a risk which the deputy governor of the Central Bank has called out in the terms of the preparedness of insurance companies writing business in Ireland. It is an absolute risk. It is a real concern. I know that around the Insurance Ireland table all the big firms have planned for a hard Brexit but there is a concern. One of the feedbacks from Lloyds is that the concern about Ireland in terms of volatility, levels of profitability and Brexit really dampen down enthusiasm to write business here so it is a concern.
